The Eden Cinemas’ Royal Opera House slate for the 2017/18 season has been carefully curated with a host of spectacular productions. All operas and ballets will be transmitted live via satellite on to the big screen.

The Royal Ballet's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The season kicked off with Mozart’s fantastical The Magic Flute in September.

Among the upcoming opera highlights are Puccini’s Tosca featuring Maltese, world-renowned tenor Joseph Calleja on February 7 and Verdi’s Rigoletto and Macbeth (January 16 and April 4 respectively).

The Royal Ballet’s slate is equally impressive, with Christopher Wheeldon productions including Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland on October 23 and The Winter’s Tale on February 28.

The final performance of the season is the hotly-anticipated new staging of Swan Lake (June 12) by Liam Scarlett.

Broadcast live from The Royal Opera House, audiences will experience all that live theatre has to offer.

They will get access to pre-show and behind-the-scenes footage and will also learn how The Royal Opera House productions are staged and designed from the perspective of the directors, cast, crew and more.

Ticket prices for the live shows are €18 per adult and include a complimentary glass of wine and complimentary parking at the Eden Car Park. Tickets for children and youths aged 16 and under are €10. Encore shows are at €15 (including free parking).

The ROH Eden Cinemas culture season is supported by The Malta Arts Council.
